Changsheng opens treasure chests everywhere

Chapter 23
Zhizhou is the head of a state, and Hangzhou Zhizhou Zhang Chenglin is Liu Jinnian's immediate boss.

"Your Majesty welcomes Lord Zhizhou."

Liu Jinnian hastily stepped forward to greet him with an apologetic smile all over his face.

"Master Zhizhou came to Linjiang County, and the people of the county felt very honored, and the officials were terrified."

"Fearful? You really should be terrified."

Zhang Chenglin sneered, his face turned cold suddenly, and he shouted loudly.

"Liu Jinnian! You lost Kuyin, what should you do!"

"The lower official has neglected his duty! My lord, atone for my crime!"

Zhang Chenglin actually did it for this matter, Liu Jinnian was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, and then said hastily.

"It's true that the lower officials did not investigate, but the lower officials have already arrested the thief who stole the treasury silver, and they will pay for their merits. I hope that the Lord Zhizhou will investigate clearly."

"I caught the thief, where is the thief?"

Zhang Chenglin's face softened slightly, and he stroked his beard gently.

"That's him! This is the thief who stole Ku Yin!"

Liu Jinnian stood up and pointed at Mi Xiaoxia.

Losing Kuyin is not a trivial matter. If the case cannot be solved in time, Zhang Chenglin, the prefect, will also be affected.So no matter who it is, the most important thing right now is to solve the case as soon as possible.

But solving the case is not so simple, the simplest and most effective way is to find someone to take the blame!
There have been unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in all dynasties. There is no ghost who died unjustly at the gate of any yamen!
Liu Jinnian looked at Mi Xiaoxia and sneered in his heart, who made you Mi Xiaoxia powerless, a poor scholar, dare to offend this county magistrate.If I take the blame on you today, even if it is a huge injustice, you have nothing to say!
"Oh, you said him."

Zhang Chenglin smiled, and suddenly asked Liu Jinnian.

"Then do you know who he is?"

"who is it?"

Liu Jinnian was taken aback, how could he not know who Mi Xiaoxia was.

"My lord, this person's name is Mi Xiaoxia. Although he has the reputation of a scholar, he has a bad record in this county. But who would have imagined that he would be so bold as to steal the money used to build the embankment!"

"Oh, like this."

Zhang Chenglin smiled again, and suddenly asked a question without thinking.

"Master Liu, do you know the new magistrate of Jiangzhou?"

"You mean Master Chen?"

Liu Jinnian was taken aback again, how could he not know about the upstart in Jiangnan Dao at this time, and replied.

"Chen Guangrui, Mr. Chen, this year's champion of the new division, the magistrate of Jiangzhou personally appointed by the emperor. Mr. Chen has a dignified appearance and a wealth of knowledge. He has won the appreciation of Prime Minister Yin, and he has been recruited as his son-in-law."

"Hehe, aren't you quite clear about this?"

Zhang Chenglin laughed inexplicably, then his face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted in a deep voice.

"Then you know! Mr. Mi Xiaoxia and Mr. Chen are best friends!"

"I'm close friends with Mr. Chen..."

Just as Liu Jinnian was about to agree, he suddenly realized that his expression changed drastically.

"how can that be……"

Liu Jinnian lost his mind for a while, and looked at Mi Xiaoxia in disbelief.He was obviously a poor boy with no background, but why he suddenly became Chen Guangrui's best friend, and had a relationship with the new top scholar, the magistrate of Jiangzhou, and the son-in-law of the prime minister's mansion!

"Liu Jinnian, you are so courageous!"

Zhang Chenglin shouted loudly and said in a cold voice.

"You said Mr. Mi has a lot of bad deeds and stole money from the treasury. Didn't you mean that Mr. Chen made friends with bandits? Didn't you say that Prime Minister Yin's family rules are not strict in disguise, and that your majesty doesn't know people well!"

"My lord! This is a misunderstanding. There is a villain who framed Mr. Mi, and the officials don't investigate for a while, and don't investigate for a while!"

Liu Jinnian fell to his knees, trembling all over, trying to defend himself.

"Master Zhang, I have something to say."

Just as Liu Jinnian tried his best to excuse, Mi Xiaoxia suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Mi, please speak if you have something to say."

Zhang Chenglin smiled and nodded kindly to Mi Xiaoxia.

"Reporting to my lord, Liu Jinnian was framed to protect the real thief."

Mi Xiaoxia's eyes were firm, and he said with righteous indignation.

"what do you mean……"

Zhang Chenglin opened his eyes slightly, somewhat unexpectedly.

"Liu Jinnian is insatiably greedy, guards himself and steals from himself. The real thief who stole Kuyin is Liu Jinnian himself!"

Mi Xiaoxia raised his head and said loudly.

"Master Zhizhou! There is no Xiaguan, please make a clear decision!"

Hearing this suddenly, Zhang Chenglin was surprised again, while Liu Jinnian was taken aback, and quickly kowtowed for grievances.

"Mr. Mi, you said that Liu Jinnian was guarding himself and stealing. Do you have evidence?"

Zhang Chenglin ignored Liu Jinnian and looked at Mi Xiaoxia with a serious expression.

"My lord, Liu Jinnian stole 1 taels of treasury silver and buried it in the garden of his mansion. As long as you send someone to dig it out, you can get all the stolen goods!"

Mi Xiaoxia replied with a determined face.

"My lord, I request you to search my mansion!"

Hearing this, Liu Jinnian said quickly.He knew in his heart that where he had stolen the silver, as long as he couldn't dig it out, it wouldn't be able to prove his innocence.

Liu Jinnian regained his composure and sneered secretly.Regardless of the relationship between Mi Xiaoxia and Chen Guangrui, as long as he can't find any money, he can be charged with falsely accusing an official!

"Okay! Go to Liu's Mansion!"

Zhang Chenglin slapped the table and got up straight away.

Immediately afterwards, everyone went straight to Liu's Mansion, and it was almost noon when they arrived.A group of yamen servants came to the garden with shovels and other tools, and dug under the scorching sun at the location designated by Mi Xiaoxia.

"My lord, this is a newly picked fruit, you can try it."

Zhang Chenglin was sitting in the shade, while the servants of Liu's mansion brought refreshments and fruits, while Liu Jinnian was graciously fanning beside him.

Zhang Chenglin picked up a bayberry and put it in his mouth, but ignored Liu Jinnian.

"My lord, this assignment cannot be dug out. You see, it's time for dinner soon. I have ordered my servants to prepare wine and food. Why don't we go eat first."

"Master Liu, I am here to investigate the case, not to eat your banquet!"

Zhang Chenglin's face darkened, and he snorted heavily.

Liu Jinnian made fun of himself, smiled embarrassingly, and stopped talking.At the same time, he felt ruthless in his heart, and he must be punished for the crime of falsely accusing Mi Xiaoxia, but he was dispatched to the frontier!

"I got it! I got it!"

At this moment, the digging officer suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Dig...how is it possible!"

Liu Jinnian's face changed drastically in an instant, and he stood there as if struck by lightning.

"Haha, Master Liu, go and have a look."

Zhang Chenglin laughed and got up and walked over there. Liu Jinnian came to his senses and ran over quickly.

I saw a big hole was dug in the garden, and there were several big boxes inside. Two of the boxes were opened, and they were full of ten taels of silver!

A yamen servant took two ingots and presented them up. There was a seal on the bottom of the silver ingots, which was the lost batch of official silver!

"This...how is this possible!"

Seeing this scene, Liu Jinnian's whole body went limp, and he slumped on the ground.

"Bold Liu Jinnian, guarding himself and stealing himself, come here, take off his official hat, and put him in a prison to wait for his punishment!"

Zhang Chenglin yelled loudly, and then a yamen servant came up, took off Liu Jinnian's official hat, and escorted him away.

"My lord! You are wronged, this is someone who framed you!"

Liu Jinnian was dragged, shouting loudly that he was wronged.

"If you get the stolen goods and get them, what's the point of being wronged?"

Zhang Chenglin sneered, then turned to Mi Xiaoxia, and put on a smile.

"Mr. Mi has solved this major case, and I will definitely report it to the court and reward him."

"It's all up to Mr. Zhang's wise decision. I don't dare to take credit for it."

Mi Xiaoxia smiled, then cupped his hands and said.

"Thanks to Mr. Zhang for helping me clear up my grievances this time, I will hold a banquet tomorrow to thank you."

"Mr. Mi's treat, I will definitely be there."

Zhang Chenglin nodded and responded with a big smile.

After saying a few more words, Mi Xiaoxia bid farewell and left. At this time, the Liu Mansion was in a mess.

"Liu Jinnian, it's not good for you to provoke anyone, but me."

Walking on the road, Mi Xiaoxia sneered slightly, all of this was of course arranged by him.

Before Mi Xiaoxia promised Liu Jinnian to investigate the case, it was actually a tactic to delay the attack. He insisted on a month, because it took time to send the letter to Jiangzhou.

Mi Xiaoxia wrote a secret letter and entrusted the Escort Bureau to send it to Jiangzhou as quickly as possible, asking Liu Hong to help him suppress Liu Jinnian.

Mi Xiaoxia and Liu Hong can't talk about friendship, but Mi Xiaoxia knows his details and holds onto him.Liu Hong is grateful to Mi Xiaoxia on the one hand, and dare not not to help on the other.

Liu Hong is the magistrate of Jiangzhou, and his official rank is higher than that of Liu Jinnian, but he is in Jiangzhou and it is not easy to exceed his authority, so he entrusted Zhang Chenglin, the magistrate of Hangzhou.

Zhang Chenglin and Liu Hong are at the same level, but Liu Hong is the champion of the new division and has a bright future.It's Prime Minister Yin's son-in-law again, and it's too late for Zhang Chenglin to curry favor.

Of course, Liu Hong's identity was all fake, but Zhang Chenglin didn't know it.

In this way, Zhang Chenglin could arrive in such a timely manner.

But what Zhang Chenglin didn't expect was that Mi Xiaoxia was so powerful that he actually found the stolen official bank, and it turned out that Liu Jinnian was the one who guarded and stole it himself.

Zhang Chenglin originally just took a casual trip, but he solved a major case and added a lot to his political achievements.

Without mentioning Zhang Chenglin, Mi Xiaoxia went straight home after solving the matter. It was just time for lunch, and while eating, he comforted the frightened Shen Xiniang, and went back to the house to continue practicing after dinner.

"Master, you called me."

At night, Chou Nu appeared and looked at Mi Xiaoxia flatteringly.

"Kill Zhao Qianming tonight."

Mi Xiaoxia stood up, with a gloomy look on his face.
